He and his wife Sheri have two children, Cooper and Bailey who both attend FISD schools.

Why did Hopkins join the Board: I am a product of FISD and believe it is one of the key reasons for my success in college, work and life. I want FISD to be the same springboard for my children as it was for me. I want to help guide the district’s future and ensure that all FISD students had the same opportunities to excel that I did.

What he hopes to accomplish: I want FISD to be the best public school district in Texas and for the students of the district to be constantly challenged to achieve their maximum potential. I believe FISD must constantly challenge itself and continue to innovate or our students and district will not reach their potential.
